Volcanos

Roundup of Global Volcanic Activity:

Kilauea (Hawai'i): (4 Mar) Kilauea summit tiltmeters recorded the start of another DI deflationary tilt at 3:30 am this morning - lava lake at summit drops 3m (6ft)

Popocatépetl (Central Mexico): Activity at the volcano remains low and mainly characterized by intense, continuous degassing. Bright glow is visible above the crater at night. No explosions occurred during the past 24 hours.

Santa María / Santiaguito (Guatemala): Activity remains dominantly effusive. Viscous lava flows are active mainly at the S and NE flanks of the dome, causing constant avalanches.

Pacaya (Guatemala): While lava flow effusions probably has stopped, weak and sometimes moderate strombolian explosions continue at the summit vent, producing small ash plumes rising 100-150 m.

Tungurahua (Ecuador): Activity has decreased at the volcano. IGPEN characterizes it still as moderate, but there have been no new significant explosions.
